“…Importantly, a similar particle to that detailed in this study has previously been described as a component of neighboring Malay languages found in Malaysia (Hoogervorst 2018). The particle in Klang‐Valley Malay, normatively spelt ah, commonly appears in utterance final position and is used as an emotive marker to express irritation, impatience, or disbelief toward an utterance's propositional value (Hoogervorst 2018). Although there are uses of a in the current data that correspond to this description, the particle appears to have more diverse functions some of which are not explicitly tied to emotionality in this study.…”

Research shows that structure and agency are components of both micro and macro articulations of identity (Bucholtz and Hall, 2005). However, some scholars (e.g., Block 2013, 2015; Sealey and Carter 2004; Gao 2017) argue that structure and agency often receive unequal attention, with many studies focusing more on agency when examining identity work. This paper attempts to rectify this imbalance by adopting a chronotopic approach to examine quantitative variation in Chinese Indonesian college students' (non)‐use of the Chinese discourse particle a to construct interactional positions. The resulting analysis highlights how speakers' interactional positions align with established macro structures of Chineseness and Indonesianness, and also present new local structures. Patterns in different speakers' invocation of structures in interaction correlates with their socialization histories, involving exposure to particular social categories and ideologies. Ultimately, this approach better represents structure and agency as mutually constituted factors in identity work.

“…Studies which were conducted based on various approaches definitely had instilled certain understanding related to discourse markers features. Detailed analysis of previous studies related to discourse markers in finding suitable understanding of their studies were also conducted by some researchers (see Azi, 2018;Hoogervorst, 2018;Dror, 2018;Alami, 2015;Banguis-Bantawig, 2019). In addition, most of these approaches were also paired with data analysis based on corpus to obtain the amount of the distributions.…”

The process of determining groups, features and functions of discourse markers or discourse particle are debateable among language researchers. Various definitions and classification of elements have developed confusion of its status. The efforts to rearrange various opinions related to discourse markers or discourse particles according to certain functions are able to create systematic categories and expose its functions clearly. This article aimed to examine a number of discourse markers concepts or discourse particles and its functions according to the context of grammar and pragmatics as well as the features and domains of discourse markers or discourse particles from views from past studies. The methodology used was the examination of discourse markers or discourse particles into a theory, a model which explained the functions of discourse markers or discourse particles. This explained the research findings which listed the inventory concept of discourse markers or discourse particles, the functions, features and domain of discourse markers or discourse particles in detailed. Distribution of concepts, functions and domain of discourse markers or discourse particles from the views from past studies indicated that discourse markers or discourse particles is a meaningful entity in communication.

The development of studies in Malay and Arabic has prompted researchers to construct an interpretation of the discourse particle ‘lah’ based on the Arabic linguistic perspective. This research adapted methods used by Sidnell in detailing aspects of interpretation choice with regard to discourse type, informants, and data transcription procedures. Recordings of the discourse on Wacana Sinar with the title “Plan for National Young Leaders/Pelan Pemimpin Muda Untuk Negara” is used. The interview involved a moderator and three-panel members from the government and from the opposition parties. In the process of developing interpretation for the discourse particles ‘lah’, knowledge of Arabic Balāghah is adapted to its use in Malay. Based on this knowledge, specifically on knowledge of al-ma’ānī, analysis to build the discourse interpretation of the particle ‘lah’ is focused on the form of spoken speech (khabarī), aspects of the structure of speech (isnād) and aspects of language style (uslūb). The result of this study indicated two interpretations of the discourse particles ‘lah’. One is indicative of the speech structure used (isnād). Apart from that, twelve other interpretations of discourse particles ‘lah’ are based on aspects of language style (uslūb). This cross-language study is expected to increase the knowledge of the elements of Arabic which in turn enables it to re-dignify the Malay language.
